🔥 Step 2: Infuse the Oil
Add the coconut oil to a saucepan.
Add the chopped onion and cloves.
Heat over very low heat for 15–20 minutes.
Stir occasionally and avoid boiling or burning the ingredients.
The oil should become fragrant and lightly infused.
❄️ Step 3: Cool the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Allow the oil to cool completely before handling.
🫙 Step 4: Strain the Oil
Pour the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth.

Part your hair into sections.
Apply a small amount of oil directly to the scalp.
Massage gently using your fingertips for 5–10 minutes.
⏳ Step 6: Let It Work
Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes.
For a deeper treatment, leave it overnight and cover your hair with a shower cap.
